I have an iPad air2 that I only use if I want to be out where I don't want to deal with the tiny phone text
if I am going to be doing things. I don't like to update and should not of. Now I am having battery issues
do to the IOS update. I wished Apple would just quit with the no rollback crap.

So I will be heading to the local computer parts store to pick up a power supply for the old
system so I can access the files I need to build the PDFs.

Unplug the fan clutch wiring connector and see what happens.

I've done that already. I have to take the airbox tube off and clean the pcm connections/dialect grease. Just been busy and now it's too dang hot!

Ok had some time today to clean the pcm connections. Took apart the zip tied connection. It had a ton of old orange silicone looking stuff in it. Seems that's the body connection if I base it on the posted diagram and put on its side.

Did you see any corrosion under all that orange RTV?
If it was the acetic acid cure type that will make a nasty mess of things.

Wel...still havent gotten it to start. All charged up. But I'm still battling that middle plug. I cant get it to set down in. The top one that was ziptied...I have latched in without zip ties and its solid but that middle one is being a PITA. While having the batteries down I also changed the positive post on the frame. It was also a PITA rusted POS. So I know I have full connections for sure.

While cranking I finally registered oil pressure on the dash woohoo!. Must be close to getting the rails filled. I need fresh fuel. Anyway without taking the tank off/ having a $100 tool
.. to drain it?

Had a piston frozen on driver side caliper...changed it out got one at advanced for $35! Did have to trim the tensioner tho

Siphoned most of the diesel out...added 10 gal fresh. Purged the water a couple times and its clearing up ...

Now how long should it take to fill the oil rails? I've been cranking here and there for a few hours and had it charging and its definitely trying to start. Just not getting it to fully go. No engine codes other than the p0100 or whatever but it needs ran for that. Here are the numbers after cranking

Before you add that to the path of repair on this vehicle, I’d recheck those pipes and plugs this thread started with using air pressure to see they didn’t go wonky on install. Also check around the nipple seals.

Well I took the Chinese ipr I used out. Replaced with an oem I removed and updated the screen and orings. The ipr connector would rock so maybe that was the problem.

I never did an air test. I do have the ipr fitting to do it just dont know how to do it. Does forscan activate the icp?
